CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
OVEN INTERIOR
• It is important to clean the interior of your
microwave oven after each use.
• To clean the oven interior, use a mild detergent
solution, such as washing-up liquid, with warm
water on a soft cloth.
• Food and liquid splashes will build-up on the
oven walls and ceiling. If grease, fat and food
debris is allowed to build-up in the oven
interior it may overheat, smoke or even catch
fire when next using the oven.
• Keep the waveguide cover clean at all times.
The waveguide cover is constructed from a
fragile material and should be cleaned with
care (follow the cleaning instructions above).
NOTE: Excessive soaking may cause
disintegration of the waveguide cover.
The waveguide cover is a consumable part and
without regular cleaning, will need to be
replaced.
Cleaning tip - For easier cleaning of your oven:
Place half a lemon in a bowl, add 300ml (1/2 pint) water and heat on 100P for 10 - 12 minutes.
Wipe the oven clean using a soft, dry cloth.
OUTER CABINET
• Wipe the outside of the microwave oven with
a mild detergent solution, such as washing-up
liquid, with warm water on a soft cloth.
• The control panel must be wiped clean and
dried with the door open, therefore
inactivating the oven.
NOTES:
• Never use spray cleaners, oven pads or abrasive scourers as these damage the surface of the oven.
• Take care not to let soapy water drip through the small holes in the oven walls and the cavity floor.
Excess water spillage through these holes will cause damage to the oven interior.
• Slight tarnishing of the oven cavity, around the area of the grill, is likely to occur. This is normal and
will not affect the ovens performance.
• Failure to maintain your oven in a clean condition could adversely affect the life of the oven and
possibly result in a hazardous situation.
WARNING:
The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, turntable, dishes, accessories and especially the grill
will become very hot during operation. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves.

• Food will release steam during cooking and
cause condensation inside the oven and door.
It is important to wipe the oven dry. A build-
up of condensation will eventually lead to rust
forming on the oven interior.
Do not allow grease or dirt to build-up on
the door seals or areas around the door.
This may prevent the door from closing
correctly and may cause a leakage of
microwaves (follow the cleaning
instructions opposite).
• Ensure the turntable, support and accessories
are cleaned after every use with a mild
washing-up liquid solution and dried. This will
prevent the build-up of grease and food debris.
The turntable and accessories are dishwasher
safe.
GRILL
• It is important to keep the grill clean at all
times.
• Food and liquid splashes build-up and stick to
the grill, which may cause smoke and possibly
fire when next using the oven (follow the
cleaning instructions above).
